On April 29, the High Court in its interim order had ordered the status quo relating to the release of the movie on OTT platforms.

The order was passed on the plea filed by Hyderabad-based filmmaker Nandi Chinni Kumar who alleged copyright violation by the makers of 'Jhund'.

Earlier, Kumar had sought an injunction against the theatre release of the film, alleging breach of the terms of the settlement in an earlier case against the filmmakers, however, the trial court declined the plea to recall the settlement and allowed the film to be released in theatres.

Thereafter, the film was released in theatres on March 4. Kumar then approached the High Court challenging the trial court's order and on April 29, the interim order was passed.

'Jhund', a biographical sports film, is based on the life of Vijay Barse, founder of NGO 'Slum Soccer'. (ANI)
